bV the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The aggre.
gate increase to the Naval Appropriation
bill by the Senate Committee on Appro.
priations is between $4,000, 900 and
$22, 100000; but, inasmuch as the largest
expenditure covers a period of five years,
it is estimated that the additional appro.
priation for the next fiscal year will not
exceed SO, 900, 900, which will raise the
aggregate expenditure for the year to
between $3l, 100000 and $4,000 900.
The Senate Committee strikes out the
provision of S2,740,OOO for two steel
cruisers, and substitutes an appropria-
tion of SO, ,000 900 for six protected steel
cruisers, and 81, 200, 600 to pay premiums
for the extra speed of the same. 1t also
appropriates 81. $50. 900 for the arma.
ment of these vessels. Eight hundred
thousand dollars is appropriated for the
construction of light draft gunboats.
$720, 900 for torpedo boats. $500, 900 for
torpedoes and torpedo appliances, Sll2,.
900 for the purchase of the Destroyer and
SIC, 900 for her care and operation. The
provision for the equipment of vessels is
increased $lOO,O00; that for the pur.
chase of a proving ground is increased
$40, 900, and that tor the rebuilding OF

creased S25, 900. The appropriation for

INACCURATE FOUL MuRDER

Associated Press Dispatches 10 the HERALD
DENVER, March l.--For some months
past very hard feeling existed between
the citizens OF Leots and Coronado, two
small towns of Wallace county, X ansss.
over the location of the county seat.
The county government is now located
at the latter place and the citizens Of the
former are attempting to have it moved
to their town. This hard feeling often
led 10 rows and knock downs when the
citizens of one village would visit the
other, but with no fatal results until yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock. when
Frank Jonnes. A. N. Barry, George Wat
kins, Emmett De Swing, Charles C oulter.
Bill Rains and man named johnson
left Leotis for Coronado. Upon entering
that town in a wagon they noticsd .
suspicious movement among some OF the
citizens who were standing on the pave

touched the ground than the party in
front of the store poured volley from
sixshooters into the men, killing Ceul-
ter, Rains and johnson, and wounding
Jonnes, Barry and Watkins, whose re-
covery is impossible. During the fight
De Swing escaped from the town and
has not yet been heard from. 1t is not
known whether he is wounded or
not. After the killing the bodies of the
dead men were left laying in the street,
no one being allowed to remove them.
until nearly midnight, when they were
taken to the undertakers. The wounded
men were conveyed to hotel, and are
being cared for. None of the murderers
have yet been arrested, and it seems
that no officer in the county has any de-
sire to attempt the task. The two towns
are only two miles apart, and further
trouble is anticipated between the citi-
zens. They are located twenty miles
from the railroad and telegraph lines, eu
the latest news from them has not been

the harbor of Genoa on the night pre-.
ceding the earthquake noticed that the
sea had retreated yard more than
usual. Intuitively feeling that some-
thing was about to happen he remained
the whole of the night in his boat. The
inhabitants of Oneglia complain that the
authorities neglect them because OF the
belief that the town suffered less DAM
age than did others. On the contrary,
they say, although the walls of the
houses, being well built, withstood the
shocks, all the interiors collapsed,
in consequence of which 5000 per-
sons were compelled 10 live in sheds and
tents, suffering greatly through exposure
to wind and rain. OF the bodies buried
at Diana Marino, only fifteen were ider-
titled. Five thousand persons there arc
still camping out in the air. which is bf-
coming horribly offensive owing to the
stencil arising from corpses that ars yet
in the ruins. The structures in which
the mi jared at Bal irdo were sheltered
were blown down by the wind, and be-
fore the helpless patients could be re-
moved to place of safety, they were all
covered with snow and half dead from

BROOKS, CHANCES.
A Damaging Letter From Judge
SAWYER Proves n Drawback.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Senate
Judiciary Committee considered the
nomination of j. Marion Brooks to be
District Attorney for the Southern Dis
trict of California yesterday. The COM
mittee, after discussing the case for some
time, decided to take no action at pres
ent, aud the general impression is that
the nomination will not be acted upon
this session. In that event Brooks will
have to be reappointed by the Presid ent
to secure the office. The thing that did
Brooks the most injury before the com.
mittoe was letter written by Judge
Sawyer, who, after a visit 10 Southern
California, reported that from conversa-
tions he Lad with leading citizens he be.
lieved that Brooks was not lawyer OF
ability and that he ought not to be con-
firmed.
Senator Stanford and Representative
Fe,ton warmly espoused Brooks cause,
and felt confident that if his nomination
is not acted npon this session the Presi'
dent will renominate him.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Efforts of Members of Congress
to Avoid II.

WASHINGTON, March l.--At midnight
Senator Allison, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations, who was
still engaged with other conferees on the
Sundry Civil bill. said to a reporter of
the Associated Press that the prospect
of getting through the necessary work
on the appropriation bills and thus
avoiding the necessity of called
session, amounted to quite a
probability. The Naval bill would
be taken up by the Senate tomorrow,
aud would be passed and sent to the
conference during the day. The Legis-
lative and Deficiency bills had this
evening req ched the Senate and the
Commit on Appropriations ty con-
tinuous work might get them before the
Senate Wednesday night or Thursday
night. The report on the Sundry Civil
bill would probably be prepared before
the Committee adjourned tonight. Not
wishstanding, he added, it Is in the
power of any member of either House
to so delay matters as to make an extra
session probable.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
A Debate Concerning the Rules
OF ClOture.

LONDON, March LIN the debate on
the rules of procedure in the House of
Commons this evening, Mr.. Malloy on
behalf of Mr.. Parnell moved an amend
ment that the cloture should not be ap-
piled until the subject under discussio IN
had been debated. Mr.. Smith op-
posed the motion, saying that the
Government intended to propose an
amendment of similar nature. Par.
nell complained that the Irish were uu.
fairly treated, and he attributed the
Governments action to the influ-
ence .of Mr.. Goschen. Mr.. Healy
objected to confiding in a
Speaker. in hose election the Parnell.
ties had no voice. Mr.. Gladstone sup.
ported Mr.. Malloy's amendment. The
amendment was rejected by a vote of
24l to lS6. The announcement OF the
vote was received with loud opposition
cheers. Messrs. Gladstone, Childers,
Harcourt, Morley and other Liberals,
voted with the Parnellites. Mr.. Par.
nell moved an amendment, the
effect of which would be to prevent
the application of the clo,ure
directly after the moving of the amend
ment. Mr.. Smith objected to such con.
cession to obstruction. The amendment
was negatived by 302 to lib. Mr..
Smith gave notice that tomorrow the
Government would give an agreement to
the effect that "any member may move
to apply the cloture. and unless it shall
appear to the Speaker that the motion
is an abuse of the rules Of
the House or an infringement
of the rights of the minority the ques.
tion shall be put forthwith. Mr.. Par
nell. on the ground that members were
not given sufficient time to consider this
entirely new proposal, moved that the
introduction of the amendment be post
poned till Friday. Sir William Vernon
Harcourt supported the motion but il
was rejected by 243 to ITO.
